Teaching That Clicks: Tools and Techniques for Real Engagement Online [Grad/Postdoc Workshop]
February 24 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Facilitator: Ramazan Güngör
This interactive workshop, offered in collaboration with the Institute for Teaching, Innovation & Inclusive Pedagogy, provides graduate instructors with evidence-based practices for fostering meaningful learner engagement across online and hybrid teaching environments. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience teaching fully online graduate courses and the latest educational research on the topic, Dr. Ramazan Güngör will guide participants through practical approaches that support student motivation, participation, and success, whether teaching asynchronous discussion-based courses, synchronous Zoom seminars, or hybrid classes that blend modalities.
Topics will include designing intentional learning interactions, building instructor presence, structuring activities that invite deeper thinking, facilitating inclusive discussions, providing effective feedback, and using simple technologies to enhance engagement without overwhelming students.
Examples and templates will be tailored to the realities of graduate students teaching undergraduate and graduate courses at Rutgers, though faculty are also welcome to attend. Participants will leave with adaptable strategies they can apply immediately, along with a clearer understanding of how to create learning environments, online or otherwise, that are active, engaging, and supportive of deep learning.
This session fulfills the requirement for the Teaching with Technology certificate program for graduate students and postdocs.
